While in Bowling Green I talked to the photographer Jim Baird at the track. This was on the 18th. He showed me a few pictures he had taken of my car and my girlfriend and I really liked a few of them. So we dicided we wanted to do a 16x20 collage. I picked my pictures, he told me to come back the next day and take a look at what he would have worked up. He told me I would receive my picture in the mail shortly after the event.

The next morning(9/19/11) I go look at what he has worked up, he has nothing but quickly makes something look good and I liked it. I asked him what we needed to do to make this a deal. He said $95, I handed him a $100 bill, and received $5.00 back, and got a recept(with my information, number and address) and he told me a week or so and I should have it. All was good, couldnt wait to get home and hang it in my shop.

Well about 3 weeks has went by and I havent seen a picture, thought I better look for my ticket and see if there is a contact number on it. Well I find it, call him, no answer. I leave a message. I end up calling the next day and get ahold of someone. He says it must be a big mistake and he is very sorry, he askes all my info and about the car says he will call me back in about 15min. Well no call, 2 days later I hear back. He says he cant find anything and doesnt remember me or my car until I start talking about my g/f and then hes all aboard and remembers us?? He says he will look more and call back. I call him a few days later, he says he has no record of us making this deal, and says "we never made a go on this" I ask him what do you mean, replying that" you never paid is what I mean"...I tell him I have a reciept!!!!!! I told him I would mail him a copy and then to get ahold of me. So I mailed it about 2 weeks ago. Well its been going on, I cant get ahold of him and no picture, emails, or calls. So I thought I would just start a complaint here, I really didnt want to sound like a dick, but its been going on for almost 2 months now!! Im at a loss to what to do now, just BEWARE of INDIE IMAGES!!!

John this guy is the track photographer at Beech Bend. I'm sure he has a contract set up with Dallas. If you'd like me to do some checking I'd be glad to lend a hand if I can help. I'm local anyway and talked to the guy last weekend at the track.

If it was the older guy that was set up in the corner of the staging lanes it's the track Photographer.
